What price ranges can i expect.

Theres a top-of-the-line jaycar 350w rms (@ 4 ohm) monoblock amp (for subs) thats around $400 (less if you shop around). For a new amp, that comes with lots of options including a remote for bass control, thats pretty darn good. If you can get it for $300 or so i'd highly recommend it.

I do them for forum buddies for around $256. :(

Fhrx, i've got 1 little problem though..

At the moment i have 1 1000watt boss amp, and 1 500watt kenwood amp. The kenwood amp is only powering my crossovers (using 2 channels, i think) and the boss amp is powering my sub and 6x9's. What would you recommend i do?

a) Take the 500watt kenwood amp out, buy a 2channel Audison to power my sub, and use the boss to power 6x9's and fronts?

B) Throw the boss away and use the kenwood for 6x9's and fronts?

Would the gain in sound be worth the money i would spend to get another amp? I've also got to consider installation fee's because i have no idea on how to wire an amp :(

Say i did buy the Audison amp, would u be able to wire the stuff up for me? Let me know, because i will be doing something about my setup in the next few months..

Audison SRx2 Two Channel Amplifier

Ideal for factory sound systems, SRx 2 insures uncommon functionality and performances.

65w RMS x 2 (4 Ohms) - 85w RMS x 2 (2 Ohms) - 170w RMS x 1 (4 Ohms)

that would be around the same amount my boss amp is powering, have i got the right info?

If thats the case, there wouldnt be much of an increase? Someone correct me if im wrong.

Boss 1000watt and Kenwood 500 watt? Remember one thing you have to realise that those amps are only outputting a fraction of their quoted power. A serious 1000 watt amp will be nearly a meter long usually.

Disciple, are you open to suggestions regarding your system dude? If you don't mind me saying, this is what I'd suggest you do.

1. Put the $300 to one side.

2. Sell both your existing amplifiers.

3. Buy a single quality powerful amplifier (something like an Audison SRx3).

4. Run your fronts and sub with the above amp ( 75 RMS to each from and 250 RMS to the sub).

5. Run the rears off your deck.

There you go. Once you have thrown in some sound deadening to strenghen up the front stage sound and quality cable to interconnect the entire thing, you'll have a beautifuly crisp sounding clean system that can blow your head off every now and again. :(

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
